Using my touchpad seems to act as if it's a joystick - If I touch the edges it acts like I've pulled the joystick to the far edge of its movement, etc. sort of like how a steam controller's touchpads work when emulating a joystick. However, it also just acts like regular mouse input so it's only noticeable in games that detect joypad input.

This happens regardless of Steam being activated. I have used DS4 controllers on my laptop before but this happens regardless of them being connected.

Manjaro and GNOME btw. Happens on x11 and Wayland.

Any ideas?

Yeah, I'd personally try out a live CD for a different distro (probably Puppy) to see how the events show up there.

I do wholeheartedly recommend changing distros though
